Weekly News for the week beginning Monday 5th June 2017
What a beautiful week of weather! Here’s hoping it lasts through the Half term break! There is a
fair bit of work going on in school next week whilst we are away. We are having LED lighting fitted
throughout the school as part of a Government sponsored scheme to make schools and other public
buildings as energy efficient as possible. We have been able to so this as part of an interest free loan
scheme. At the same time the Key stage 1 playground is being re-tarmacked as the first stage in its
redevelopment. The new equipment and markings will be put in over the summer. Our thanks to all
of you who have helped to fund this important work through the PTA. We are also getting going
with our prayer garden which we hope will be ready to be opened and blessed by the Bishop when he
comes to celebrate our 50th Birthday on June 27th. I hope that you will also see the great work of
our incredibly enthusiastic gardeners who have been busy designing and now planting our Beach garden
entry into the schools’ competition for Guildford in Bloom. My thanks to the Wong family and their
great generosity in helping provide the plants for our work. So, the summer has arrived and life at
school is as busy as ever and that is just how it should be! Fun, challenge and achievement, everyone
striving to make S=P+A+C+E for their learning. Have a wonderful half term week whatever you are
doing. Neil Lewin

THE GOLDEN BOOT The Golden Boot challenge starts after the half term holiday and runs from 5th June to 30th June. Every
day during the challenge children will be logging how they travel to school into the following
categories:
Walking Park and stride Scooting Car share Cycling Car School bus, Taxi, Train Other
The greener the method of transport the higher the Green Score. If you drive to school why not consider the Park and Stride option once or twice a week? Can we win back the Golden Boot this year?
The cost of school dinners for the final half term this year is £72.60
Payment can be made online via Scopay (www.scopay.com) or at the school office by cash or cheque payable to Surrey County Council. This is a debt owed to Surrey County Council and should be paid in advance.
If your child serves at Mass at your Church then they are welcome to join Fr Alan for a practice for the
50th Anniversary Mass being celebrated by Bishop Richard on Tuesday 27th June. The practice will be
after school on Tuesday 20th June. If you would like your child to come please e mail:
